All too aware of the present dearth of Queensland referees in League, and of the near-impossibility of fair play this engenders.

Cowan is of course a New South Welshman, and was so – according to him – born to rule. Australian selection was a given to this blue-eyed boy.
So he hates Labuschagne; big deal.
Cowan is not only a nobody, he is a never was, and there aren’t many from NSW who weren’t given chance after chance.
The feud between Darren Lehmann and Ed Cowan
He was implying, John, although he may originally have inferred.
I'm not calling Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft liars, but...
Interesting that Labuschagne is considered a possibility, but Burns and Renshaw are not even mentioned. The idiot Warne wouldn’t consider them of course, as they’re not Victorians.
It seems to be important to the selectors that no Queenslanders – apart from Chris Lynn and the renegade T20 Queenslanders Ben McDermott and Billy Stanlake – are ever included in the Australian teams, Test, One-day or T20, despite the facts that Queensland won the Sheffield Shield last year, and that Matt Renshaw and Joe Burns have done rather well when given the chance to play for Australia.
Of course they’re not from NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia or Western Australia, are they? Those states have done so well for Australia, as we know. They are all represented in the Australian team, which has covered itself with opprobrium.
Labuschagne recall likely, named in squad for SCG Test
Given that Brisbane were without Chris Lynn and Sam Badree, and even then, minus their best batsman and probably their best bowler, lost only because of the failure by one of the umpires to give out a Perth player to an obvious caught-behind, yes it was obviously morally wrong to fine and suspend McCullum and to fine the rest of the team.
Even Mark Waugh stated that the Perth player had scored an extra 21 runs because of this failure on the part of the umpire to do his job correctly.
To fine all Heat players and to suspend their best remaining batsman, especially after the umpiring decision which almost certainly cost them the game and their position at the top of the ladder smacks of a witch-hunt against the Brisbane team. In conjunction with the Australian selectors they have just disposed of the Heat’s previously very good chances of winning the competition.
Remember that prior to that game, and to that umpire’s decision, and to the moronic decision by faceless men to suspend Brisbane’s captain, the Heat was leading the competition by a clear two points.
Are these BBL clowns aware how much players such as McCullum increase the appeal of the tournament?
Suspending Brendon McCullum for slow over rates is over the top

It was not a no-try on any count, but it was a fair try, as acknowledged by both Sterling and Gould.
Wally is a Queenslander, unlike any of the referees.
But fair play is not in your vocabulary, is it?
[VIDEO] Origin controversy: Inglis denied runaway try
Absolutely unbelievable when the desperates from NSW, (are there any former coaches or major experts among you, chaps, apart from the signally-unsuccessful Smith?) state that their legends Gould and Sterling both wrongly awarded Inglis a try – from the best seats in the house. Gould was of course happy when the try was denied by the oiks upstairs, but had already stated several times that it was a fair try.
Trying to justify the unjustifiable yet again in cockroach central has no credibility whatever, after the decades-long preponderance – virtual monopoly in fact – of non-neutral referees and touch-judges.
If only the QRL had the backbone to refuse to participate unless the bias is addressed.

What absolute rubbish. It wasn’t just Queenslanders questioning it, sport, it was Gould and Sterling, but they’re obviously not so biased as some roaches. Most surprising in the case of Gould of course. You must have vomited on the screen when he gave the try the all-clear.
SMITHY: Now THAT'S how Origin footy should be played!
I agree with your sentiments but not with your abysmal ignorance of English.
